Bill the Wizard head sketches

I believe these were the first sketches I ever did of Bill the Wizard from my Bill and Butch stories. He's not "on model" here, but that's mainly because I was playing around with ideas. I had the general concept down, but I wasn't completely sure about his final facial appearance. So you can see me trying to find him in these inked sketches.

The image below, on the other hand, is an example of a head turnaround of Bill with his design finalized. I usually don't ink concept work like this, but I love Bill and he's fun to ink!
